It was so late, who had the leisure to ask the old man in the village, dispelled this idea, talked to the woman for a while, persuaded her, and let her take the little girl out.

I don't know how to get rid of this water tiger mark, but I understand that this mark is actually made on the soul, so I entered the little girl's body and transferred all the marks about the water tiger into my own body.

After coming out, he said to Fei Jie: "Let's leave now, the water tiger has just left, and it shouldn't come back in a short time." ”

We said goodbye to the women, and set off in the dark, ghosts are originally a species that belongs to the night, and it is not a problem to see the way.

As we were walking, Fei Barge said to me, "How did you know that little girl was going to fall into the water in the afternoon?" ”

I said, "Thanks to the Divination Sutra." In the spring, the summer is ugly. Autumn is a good time, and winter is ugly. At a glance, you can see that the little girl is destined to commit the deep water pass, just when she is on the water, and it is in the unitary time, the deep water pass is coming, and it can't be stopped! ”

Fei retorted: "That water tiger is not an ordinary ghost, the strength may be around the immortals, I have not learned the Tao for a long time, not its opponent, if you are still strong, you don't have to be afraid of it, but it is not suitable to confront it head-on now, what should I do now?" ”

I'm also a little puzzled, there are fairy-level ghosts in this small mountain village, but the world is so big that there are no surprises, so I don't know what I will encounter in the future.

"Run, what else can I do?" I say.

Fei Fu sighed speechlessly: "Mu Wu is right, you are really a stubble." ”

I disagree with her: "What kind of people do you have to accept in any circle, even if you go alone, most of the people you come into contact with are some strange people, and you can't be some senior executives." ”

Fei Fei saw that I was talking to her, and was a little dissatisfied: "I can't talk about you!" ”

I laughed twice, and continued to walk in this mountain forest, and when it was almost dawn, I met an old man in front of me who was leading an ox and carrying a plow, and when I saw him walking for a while, I went up to help him, and put the plow on his shoulder against myself, and asked, "Where is the uncle?" I'll send you there. ”

The old man looked at me and Fei Fei a few times: "Take advantage of the early morning and not hot, go to the paddy field to plow, it's not far from there, I'll just go by myself." ”

Although he refused, he complied with me at my request, and when he reached the paddy field, he put down the plow, tied the oxen to a stake on one side, put on a cigarette, smoked two puffs, and said, "Excuse me, young man, why are you two walking on the hill early in the morning?" ”

I was about to speak, but Fei Fei preemptively said, "He's causing trouble, he's running away." ”

The old man was shocked: "Didn't you hurt people running away?" ”

I looked at Fei Fu speechlessly, and explained to the old man: "There is a village on the other side of the mountain, and when we were passing by, we saw a little girl falling into the water, and I went to rescue the little girl, but I ran away because of the water tiger." ”

The old man breathed a sigh of relief: "Water Tiger, you go to find Qian Mazi in our village, he can cure the Water Tiger." ”

I smiled, I guess it's just a duangong, and after catching a few simple ghosts, he was treated as if everything could be solved, but this water tiger was not something he could solve. The Craftsman Hall is dead.

"Yes." I replied casually.

The old man continued: "We have heard of the water tiger, when I was young, there was a young man who went to treat it, and that young man was the way to ask Qian Mazi, Qian Mazi is now a paralyzed person, otherwise he would have been cured." The old man exhaled a puff of white smoke and glanced at me, "Eh, the young man who went to control the water tiger still looks a little like you, it's been a long time, I can't remember it clearly." ”

I smiled, and then I carefully wrote down the person Qian Mazi, and said a few words to the old man, because I was afraid that the water tiger would catch up, so I went ahead with the flying barge.

After walking for a while, he said, "I know why there is always trouble everywhere you walk?" ”

I casually walked ahead and casually asked, "Why?" ”

"Because you like to meddle in things, that little girl and this old man are the same, isn't it normal for people to have a cycle of life and death? Even if you help that little girl, she will still die in the future, and you can't change her ending, but you get yourself into trouble. Today's old man, old age and frailty have been like this since ancient times, if you don't help him, he also has the ability to go to the field, you are doing this too much. ”

I have become accustomed to this kind of remark, saying, "I believe in Master, that the cause that is planted today will be fruitful tomorrow." If you don't help the elderly, how can you know that Qian Mazi in their village can cure the water tiger? ”

Fei Fei was speechless.

After entering the village, we asked the villagers about Qian Mazi's residence, and then went to his door with Feifei.

When he arrived at the door, a bald old man in the house was sitting in the middle of the house and weaving a basket with bamboo strips, and when he felt that there was someone at the door, he said without raising his head: "You are here!" ”

I wondered, why, did he know we were coming?

With that said, I walked in with him, and when we walked in, we found that his forehead was full of dense brown dots, and it was ugly up close. Qian Mazi's nickname is really suitable for him.

"You know we're coming?" I say.

Qian Mazi still lowered his head and didn't look at us, and said, "Of course I know that I want to come, and I have to come." ”

His words were a bit incomprehensible, and I tasted them two or three times without understanding what they meant.

Qian Mazi said again: "Young things are too much, now I have come to the door, and I will fight with you after I finish compiling the basket, wait a while." ”

"We're here to help." That's when I realized he thought of us as someone else.

Qian Mazi raised his head after hearing this, and the pockmarks on his face suddenly startled me, and his face was pitted, not like a human face at all.

When he raised his head and saw me, he stared at me for a long time before he said, "I feel that the two of you are ghosts, and I thought you were looking for me to settle accounts, but it turned out to be you, sit down." ”

It turned out to be me? Did he know me before?

"You know me?"

"Didn't you say it, you have to come and walk this road again in the future, and sure enough, you came, but you haven't changed yet, we're all old." Qian Mazi said.

Fei Barge and I glanced at each other: "You recognize the wrong person, I'm only twenty, and I've never been here before." ”

Qian Mazi was stunned: "You're only twenty?" You haven't been here before? You were twenty at that time, why are you still twenty now? Are you his descendant? No, he has no descendants...... Oh, I see, I see. ”

Qian Mazi's words completely blurred me, and asked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Qian Mazi didn't answer me: "You came to me to ask for a solution to the water tiger, right?" ”

I was stunned, this Qian Mazi looks extremely ugly, could it be that he can be a prophet?

I was not allowed to think nonsense, and nodded in response to his question.

Qian Mazi said: "Let me tell you, I can't solve that water tiger." ”

"But I heard that you mentioned it to someone once before, and when it was done, that person subdued the water tiger so that it no longer eats people, but now it has started to eat people again." I say.

Qian Mazi continued to pick up the bamboo strips on the ground and weave them, and after a while, he said: "That's not an ordinary water tiger, but the water tiger king, you can't subdue it, besides, why do you have to subdue it?" and do not do your business. ”

"But it's chasing us now."

"If you don't mess with it, it can chase you? I'm sure you provoked it first, and now you still want to deal with it, you two, you sin, you will be like me when you get old. ”

If so, it is true that I provoked it first and took away its food before it retaliated, and if so, am I not wrong?

The old man didn't tell us how to subdue the water tiger, and continued to bow his head and weave bamboo strips.

I took a closer look at the top of his bare head, and when I looked closely, I could vaguely see eight ring scars.

"Of the Buddha." This precept bar is unique to Buddhism, and there are eight precept scars, only people like the abbot are eligible to point, this Qian Mazi turned out to be the abbot of the Buddhist temple?

Qian Mazi raised his head and glanced at me: "It used to be, but now it's not." ”

"Why?" I asked.

Qian Mazi said: "You are from the Daomen, right?" ”

I nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

"Your Daomen cultivates in this life, so you have always been relatively high-profile; Buddhism cultivates the afterlife and has always practiced in a low-key manner, but some people in Buddhism go astray, thinking that the only way to cultivate the next life is to control the six realms of reincarnation, and if you control this, you can truly cultivate the next life. And now the six realms of reincarnation are in the underworld, and then they infiltrate into the underworld, and I can't look past it, so I came to this mountain to be a craftsman. ”

Qian Mazi didn't hide this, and sued me knowing that I was a Daomen.

However, what he said reminded me that the reason why Buddhism penetrated the underworld turned out to be this, cultivating the afterlife, so he wanted to control the underworld, so as to control reincarnation.

Qian Mazi was not very happy to mention these things, waved his hand and said: "Don't pestle there, if you want me to help you, you can help me burn down the broken wooden house in the east of the village tonight, and I will promise to help you." ”
